FTA: How should advisers deal with clients' interest in crypto?
AL: Surveyed data has quoted an increasing amount of interest from the end clients who are looking to invest in cryptocurrency as part of a diversified portfolio.
Some even suggested their willingness to step outside the advisory relationship to gain access.
Advisers could help their clients in these situations by getting up-to-speed on the asset class and guiding them on their journey into crypto. In order to minimise capital risk, risk management and education should be a priority.
